The First Post, aka What Should Be The Description of This Blog But Is Too Many Characters Long

No. The purpose of this blog is not to inform the world wide web of my cats’ daily activities (however adorable & endearing they may be). Yes, this blog is named after my cats.

Look, here's the deal: There are a handful of things, if not more, I’m pretty darn positive about. I have certain beliefs, personal values and opinions that I am incredibly passionate about. Let’s just say I've been known to “rant” and if you know a “rant-er” or are one yourself then you totally get I’m saying. However, the reality is those fervent outbursts do not make up the whole of who I am or what’s out there in the world to experience. The truth is infinite concepts, realities, & just plain ole’ things exists out there that I have definitely not figured out yet. There is so much I will probably never figure out. Hell, even the things I’m positive I’m positive about could come up for debate in the dark crevices of my skull in the wee hours of the morning. The point of this blog is to explore the endless heaps of gray matter that make my synapses disconnect. …I’ll probably end up ranting while I’m here too.

My boyfriend, yes my boyfriend (oh how cliché!), insisted that I'd be a pretty good blogger. I've had several other friends tell me to write books or say that they "wish they had that in writing" (referring to whatever my rant was at the time). So, when you get bored & wonder "what-in-the-hell makes this chick think she should have a damn blog?" direct all your complaints to "Christa's Friends". I'm pretty sure they are just pawning me off on the unsuspecting internet to free themselves from my endless babbling anyway. Lucky you.

It was also Dan (the boyfriend again) who helped me figure out what to name this damn thing & how I should approach it. So here you have Pasta & Olive Oil: adorable cats, a delicious Italian meal, & my blog. I won’t make any promises because I can’t promise I’ll keep them. Good Luck to you poor suckers who find yourself reading it.

****And maybe someday I’ll figure out a way to say all this in 1200 characters or less. Since this is really suppose to be the “Description” for Pasta & Olive Oil: The Blog.
